Agents will allow human programmers to get what they've been begging for decades now: proper requirements and flexible, logical, tooling.

Let's see if even mid/big companies with tons of resources, with AI and the right tooling will continue to write webview-apps or, even worse, use some kind of multi target wrapper.

Now please let us install the apps just as easily

What does this have to do with the Android CLI?
That probably depends on how good 2026-era LLMs already are. But I hope you’re right, and that pre-AI devs will still make a real difference.
Realistically it will be a giant hodgepodge of code that was steadily glommed onto by various versions of 2026, 2027, 2028, ... 2032 etc LLMs over a decade or more of increasingly convoluted and unhomogeneous "progress" by a variety of programmers of various level of "talent" and understanding......well, you can picture the rest. So just the next level of hell.
But can I publish an app without having to share my ID? If not, I don't want it.
